Stands for Reference 3A MM deCapo-i

There are many threads on this at the Reference 3a Cirle on audio circle. The cirlce is realitivily new, if you go back a few pages you wil find a bunch.

Take a look, they are very helpful:

I will also save you a bit of reading by giving you a run down, but there is still other information worth reading. Basically they say if the middle or the top 1/3 of the woofer is on axis with your ear that is best. It is not like other speakers were you put the tweater on axis, on 3a's it can be a little bright sounding if you do that. I would listen to yorus and start to lower or raise your self accordinly until it works best for you.

Hello Jayboard,

I am not saying that I am right, this is just what I read. Also interesting to note that Tash at Divergent Technologies also recommends this. I have never heard a 3a speaker but I am considering one as an alternitive to some Martin Logans. If I can't find a used pair of ML with in a few hours drive of me I will probably end up buying some De Capo's or Dulcet so I have been doing lots of reading on them latley.

I am also not saying what you are doing is wrong. I am sure that the room and equipment being used will change it. I am just saying that there is not harm in doing a slouch test in order to figure out what is best.

Cheers and happy listening,
Nick
